The Ortiz family will travel round-trip from Indianapolis to Denver this summer. The
driving distance between the two cities is 1,058 miles. They need to find out about how
much the gas will cost round trip. Their car gets about 20 miles per gallon. They usually spend about $2.89 per gallon. c. Write and solve an algebraic equation to find out how much the
Ortiz’s will spend on gas round trip. Explain your steps.
d. Suppose you know the total cost of the gas, but do not know the price
per gallon. Explain how you would work backward to solve the
problem.
